Why This Matters

In any scenario where you are out of cell range — wilderness evacuation remote location or infrastructure collapse — the Garmin inReach Mini 2 provides the only communication capability that works anywhere on Earth. Two-way satellite messaging allows you to communicate your status and location to family members and emergency services from any point on the planet.

Product Description

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 enables two-way text messaging, GPS tracking, and SOS alerts via the Iridium satellite network—with 100% global coverage, no cell service required. Send and receive messages from any location on Earth. In an SOS situation, your GPS coordinates and message are transmitted directly to the 24/7 GEOS Search and Rescue Monitoring Center. Weighing just 3.5 oz, it's the most capable emergency communication device for its size. A subscription plan is required for messaging service.

Real Use Case

A wilderness evacuation route takes your family through a 40-mile section with zero cell coverage. Your family members at home are tracking your GPS location in real time via the Garmin app. When you are delayed by an unexpected river crossing you send a two-way satellite message explaining the situation and your revised ETA. Your family has real-time situational awareness throughout the entire journey.
